The most likely scenario.Anyone else think we’ll get pumped on Sunday but Erik will still keep his job?

The whole fecking structure of the footballing side of the club has been replaced, as everyone was crying out for.Probably so but so was overpaying for and pissing away hundreds of millions on players who shouldn't have remained. Several are still in the club. A few played today. A different Manager doesn't fix this. Firing yet another manager only papers over the bigger problems that go WAY higher at the club.
Curious to see how LVG compares too.

We've changed razor blades 5 or six times already and we're all still getting burned.The whole fecking structure of the footballing side of the club has been replaced, as everyone was crying out for.
occam's razor - the simplest solution is usually the best. I.e. replace the shite manager

Look at the state of his cup draws. 98 % home games and he put out full strength lineups in most of those.I've been thinking this.
He has the two trophies, and of course trophies are very important, but I think in every other aspect he's been a complete disaster. Every stat or record tells you he's maybe been our worst manager yet in a lot of ways post Fergie
The most we'll get is a late draw, but still can't see him getting launched . It would have to be another 3-0 for that to happen.The worst part of our indecisiveness is that it keeps inviting these tricky situations where you know that you should be letting him go, but he’s just got you a result that is probably slightly too good to pull the trigger at this particular moment (even if it was largely by luck not design that he even got this result in the first place). If we somehow fluke a win at Villa they will have no choice but to keep him.
Unfortunately, yes. I have no faith in INEOS. He clearly should have been sacked at the end of last season. They even made that decision as briefed by several reliable sources. They then did a u-turn and even so much as disucssed a whole new contract before he rejected it and they triggered the extension.Anyone else think we’ll get pumped on Sunday but Erik will still keep his job?
I loath Woodward but at least he had the decency to sack someone who won the cup but finished 5th. Sickening to think this new gang came in and immediately lowered the standards to 8th being acceptable.I think there's a very good chance of that happening. He survived last season, he can survive anything. It's just disappointing to know Woodward would have sacked him for not meeting standards, yet Ineos are allowing this to continue. I hope they prove me wrong but I think they know they'll look daft for sticking with him in the summer and sacking him at a less convenient time, and are just hoping he can get one or two wins to keep the fans happy. Even though they probably know we're going nowhere under him.

If all we did was come in 15th every year and get a jammy Carabao cup win, I’m not celebrating that. Sorry. You’re welcome to.Trophies are for egos, heh
Seriously, trophies are what it's about. Ideally Premier League and Champions League when you are in your boom times, but every club in a competitive league goes through lean times and winning the other trophies should be enjoyed as a pure victory, not downplayed. Especially when we played well in the biggest of the games..
It's completely separate from where we're at in development of a squad and team that competes over 60 games. Anyone can see that we're well off, objectively speaking
Win or Lose against Villa should not matter if we dont see performance improvement. Otherwise its just delaying the inevitableSkating on thin ice now, needs a win v Villa but even that could be delaying the inevitable.
Seriously, though, if INEOS don't sack him on Monday, they are worse than the Glazers, and we were unlucky to be bought by them.

The fact that his team has conceded 2 or more goals in over 50% of his games and 3 or more in 24 games, he simply has to go after the Villa game whatever the result!ETH will be sacked either late sunday or early monday.
I really don’t think that’s what had happened at all. The “new gang” took full control in the summer. I think from there most people said that there would be changes but the manager would get the chance to prove himself under the new footballing structure. I don’t think there was any suggestion that 8th was acceptable, not when Berrada is saying the objective is to win the title in 2028. Which is in 3 seasons.I loath Woodward but at least he had the decency to sack someone who won the cup but finished 5th. Sickening to think this new gang came in and immediately lowered the standards to 8th being acceptable.
This club is broken man.
Perhaps a bit tinfoil, but I wonder if he's been told from above that he needs to rotate more, and he's gone into sabotage mode with some of his substitutions as a result (e.g., taking players off when they're playing well).
I don't see how improved performance matters. People were raving about 45 minutes against Palace and now look at us.Win or Lose against Villa should not matter if we dont see performance improvement. Otherwise its just delaying the inevitable
The first bit, maybe. The second bit, noPerhaps a bit tinfoil, but I wonder if he's been told from above that he needs to rotate more, and he's gone into sabotage mode with some of his substitutions as a result (e.g., taking players off when they're playing well).
Someone should tell him that he’s gonna get judged a lot earlier than end of season"I said it at the start of last season, judge us at the end of the season" - He genuinely thinks last season was a success because of the FA Cup win. Therein lies the problem.
The worst part of our indecisiveness is that it keeps inviting these tricky situations where you know that you should be letting him go, but he’s just got you a result that is probably slightly too good to pull the trigger at this particular moment (even if it was largely by luck not design that he even got this result in the first place).

I just watched us have another 3 goals dropped on our head by a mediocre side. Trust me I’m already miserable.Go be miserable. You're welcome to
